Ristorante Nino

Service - disaster, waiter took a bottle of olive oil straight after we used it, without asking, so I had to call waiter to get it back, 3 times I asked waiter to bring lemon for the tea, in the end they brought literally quarters of lemon. Food was bad, it not only didn’t look good, especially, for the above average price, but the taste… fried artichokes was extremely dry, brain was overcooked, and boar stew was too dry, they didn’t evaporate wine from the sauce, so there was a strong taste of alcohol. We barely touched the food and tried to tell waiter what is wrong, he started expressively explaining why it is amazing and supposed to be like that, not even listening to me. Will never ever come again

Not great service, it was mediocre. Food was served in small plates, I ordered the roasted lamb with potatoes. The lamb pieces were small and mostly fatty. See photos for reference. Also, they served wine in a water glass? I’ve eaten more food and better priced food at a hole in wall restaurant the other night. Don’t come here if you’re on a budget, eat all the bread they bring out because they charge you without asking if you want the bread.

How I adore Rome! and the restaurant NiNo has always been the personification of delight. Always smiling staff, ready at any moment to fulfill any wish of the client. Alas... not today. Maybe tired or something, but not the same service, at all. Although the food is delicious! I highly recommend I forgot to say, 15 years ago:))) here were the most delicious profiteroles in all of Italy, now it's not the same

Rome’s Best in Class: NiNo's represents Tuscan traditions naturalised in Rome: the Tuscan specialties (steak, salted cod) blended typical Roman cuisine: artichokes, suckling lamb, fresh catch of the day, homemade pastas and great Chianti Classico -AND always my favorite dessert, cantucci’s dipped in sweet wine. I love being spoiled by this experienced staff who have been delighting me for 14 years of trips to Rome. #LucaD’Antonio

Highly recommend this gem! Bit more fancy in terms of white tablecloth, quality service but absolutely worth the money here. Every single dish we had was great - artichoke, vegetable soup, ossobucco and zucchini flowers and tiramisu were fantastic. Duck ragu pasta I expected a bit more meaty with sauce but was more drier pasta with minced meat. Even the bread basket with the olive oil and house red was spectacular. At first when we got here around 8pm, it was hard to get service as they were super busy. However once things eased up, servers were so friendly and joked along with us, even gave us free biscuits and chocolate, gave me a serving spoon with my tiramisu as a joke, and gave us a "zero zero calorie" drink 😂. Would highly recommend!

Authentic Roman - Florentine cuisine. Lovely staff and atmosphere. You will only find high quality food made with exceptional ingredients. This place is old with more than 90 years of authenticity. The grilled lamb “Abbacchio” was outstanding. Milk fed baby lamb from Rome than never tasted the grass cooked to perfection with salt. Only! Discover their menu and enjoy. Rome has many good restaurants, I never go to the same restaurant twice in a single trip. But this time was an exception.

Food was actually good until we ordered the tagliata strips of beef medium-rare, all were fine except 2no pieces were clearly mess ups which they tried to conceal by totally overcooking them so we wouldn't notice they were just grizzle. The table waiter behaved fine but the Head of Service, a man in his 60's, totally unprofessional & arrogant, decided to throw a petulant fit, was rude and "intimidating" (pathetic) etc, even slammed down the credit card machine and actually walked off with my card etc. Romans are lovely and had a great time, I go often and will return but NOT to this restaurant until Mr Petulant has retired. If you go enjoy the food, most of it looked great...but be sure not to complain if they mess up unless you want a free Opera Drama performance at your table.

Lovely spot after shopping. Mostly locals and a handful of tourists (possible due to it being hidden on a side street). Lunch wait can be a little long but worth it. The fresh squids grilled were delicious!
